A Powerful New Anesthetic at Present
\ Known as Stenocarpin.
DR. j. Herbert Claiborne Jr., Of 2~"w
York City, has written all interesting .t:-
count for the Ne1ica1 Record of newly t;s-
covered all1aloid, with which he has be"n
experirnen ting, and whose therapeutic val :.e
as a local ansestehtic he concludes will r::t
be inconsiderable, especially in eye diseases.
His own researches have been confined to
it's effects on the mucous surfaces Of tic
eye and nose, but he thinks it may fairly BE-
recl1oned as a rival Of cocaine, and feels
safe II predicting for it a wide field Of use
fulness in all departments of surgery wherf,
local ana,sthesia is desired.
The new drug is derived from the leaves
of a tree very much resembling the G.;'s,.s.
stenocarapo, and known in Louisiana as The
''tear-blanlet tree"
The discovery Of the drug was due to al
accident. Mr.. Goodman g. veterirsry
surgeon, while travelling through 1-st
Feliciana Parish, La. had occasion TO APPLY
poultice to d swelling on the fetlock o!
one of his horses. He used the first leaves
that came to hand, saturated with hot
water After making a free ncision III the
swelling he was surprised to find that the
horse evinced not the slightes: feeling
Of pain.
The leaves were afterWard analyzed and
found to contain an allsaloid to wf~E
anasthetic properties were found to he
due. The new drug is at present known as
stenocarpir.

i GIANT AMONG SNAKES.
A Reptile That May Once Have Been IL
the Circus Business.


When the oil fever struck the town OF
town IN. " correspondent of the New
York Sus, there was a plot of several hun
dred acres far UP ravine which was prac-
tically unexplored. 1t was swampy and
overgrown with briers and underbrush.
The oil scouts located well in these wilds,
and an enterprising Yankee followed with
a hotel, around which he kept a number OF
sheep and swine. A few days ago he
missed pig, and a day or two later two
sheep nlysteriously disappeared. The day
following Landlord Sprague heard his dog
making a fuss and goitg to the door saw
huge black snake, which he says was twen.
ty feet long and nearly as large around
as a stove-pipe, creeping through the grass
in the direction of the surrounding under
brush.
He save chase with two of the men, who
were drilling at the well near by, but the
reptile got under cover and coz1ld not De
found. Since that time the snake has been
seen by several person.
The snake is described as jet black, WITH
a head small in proportion to its bodv C'ld
inhabitants remember that over twenty
wears ago a snake escaped from John Rob
inson's circus while showing at Randolph:
and that it was never recaptured. Inc
theory is that this huge reptile got into the
swamp and worked its way back through
the morass, a distance Of twenty miles.
where it has dwelt in the seclusion offered
by the plat in the town Of Otto. Searchin
parties are looking for the snake. and II
captured alive it will be placed in the new
geological grounds at Long Point, on Chau'

The Gan of Dunloe.

7rbis remarkable de6le is in Kerry
County, between the ]urple Mountains
and McGillycuddy's Reeks. The en-
trance is extremely narrow. and the
mountains on each side rise perpen-
dicularly to great height, casting deep
shadows ON the waters of a lake, be-
tween which on one side and the tow
eriug cliff on the other is a narrow road
along which are scattered masses OF
broken rock which bar the progress OF
carriages beyond certain point, past
which impending crags Of threatening
aspect render the passage apparently
hazardous to pedestrians. Several small
bridges of rude construction span the
stream which runs through the defle.
The pass opens into beautiful valley
called 9oome Dhuv, or ''Black Valley,
at the western extremity of which is a
large Tough called tile Red Trout Lake.
Opposite the termination of the de1le
is a lovely waterfall of great height,
whose water descends into succession
of pretty small lakes that dot the whole
extent Of the valley, and from a bank
on the south side is a splendid view OF
The Upper Lake Of Killarney with its
richly. wooded islands surrounded by
majestic, heather-clad mountains. The
scenery of the Gap Of Dunloe may be
truly described as enhancing and is
pIr among the most picturesque In Ireland.

Description Of the Great Serpent Mound
In Adams County, o.
The great serpent mound in Adams
County, O., one mile east of London, which
has recently been purchased by the Pea
body Institute and Harvard University for
the purpose of preserving it intact, is the
most remarkable of the three efigy Indian
mounds in that State. It is known locally
as the ''Snake and Egg mound and is said
to be the only mound Of the kind in exist
ence 1t is thus described in the Phlla-
N1elphia Gail:
The mound is on crescentshaped spur
of land on the farm owned by John J.
Lovett. This spur rises to a height Of one
hundred and twenty feet above the level OF
Brush creek, which washes its western
base The spur has curves and depressions,
and conforming to these the serpent occu-
pies the summit, it's head rising near the
north end and its body winding back in
snake-lil1e undulations for about seven
hundred feet. AT the tail there is q triple
coil, and from the swell at the middle to the
end of the tail there is a gradual taper until
the end terminates in g. point The head,
however, is the most remarkable part of the
serpent. and is so well defined that it
strikes the visitor with awe. The neck is
Ouu 1uu Su1 GU oIA9Aoiy, eSAA oAAo
mouth is open wide, as if in the act of
swallowing an oval-shaped circle, intended
no doubt to represent an egg.
The space inclosed by this circle is eighty
six feet long and about thirty feet wide at
the widest place. which is near the southern
end. There is a platform, about ten feet
wide, at the point Of the spear, apparently
graded to conform to the outline Of the SER
pent. There was formerly what is supposed
to have been a stone altar just at the north
of the center Of the figure, but it has been
torn down, and only Il few stones are left
to mark the spot. The mouth Of the serpent
is formed by an embanlxmenJ about two and
q half feet high, eighteen feet wide in the
central part, and following the outline OF
the large part Of the egg-shaped figure, but
nearly twenty feet from it, the distance
from the point Of the jaws to the curve OF
the mouth being one hundred feet. The
neck of the serpent is fourteen feet wide,
and to the swell, where the body begins,
about one hundred feet. On each side of
the head there can be traced projections,
curving outward and downward for nearly
thirty feet
The serpent occupies nearly six acres OF
ground, and the purchase was of that
amount, for which the agent paid Mr..
Loyett seventy dollars per acre. The inten-
tion is to inclose the grounds, and. after re-
storing the portions Of the mound that
have either been plowed down or otherwise
destroyed, trees will be set out and road
graded
